Cool ideas for the best housewarming gifts. I’ve always found it a bit difficult to know what to get for new homeowners.. or how much is appropriate to spend. Usually I just have gone with a decent bottle of red wine or something similar. I liked the copper hummingbird swing on your list of best housewarming gifts because I love birds and that is pretty interesting idea. Next time I think I might give one of those with my usual gift. Have a good one.
Hi riverdogg, I’ve always been fascinated by the wildlife that lives around an area, and as a homeowner, I love to make sure I create a space where the beautiful creatures have a welcome place to visit. The copper hummingbird swing gift is pretty to look at even when there aren’t any swinging birds! 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing these amazing gift ideas! I love the wine markers the most. Every party I cannot seem to find my glasses and I do not want my friends to bust out a fresh one. Win win for me, a perfect gift that I can use for the future lol. The croc serving tray is also very unique, I love that. Will totally check them out . Thanks again!
The writable / washable glass pens are very handy — both for marking your wine glass and for other labeling projects as well!
We are in the process of moving to a new house and are planning a housewarming. Unfortunately, most people bring quite useless gifts with good intentions. I would be happy to get plants for the garden, as we have enough stuff for the house, coming out of a big house already.
I must admit though the bottle of olive oil would be welcomed, as well as the wine glasses and the match holder. Maybe I should send this post along with the invitation so that people can get an idea what to buy.
Thanks for these inspiring ideas.
I agree that plants are always welcome gifts at my house, but even those can be tricky to choose well (do the homeowners have pets and are the plants poisonous to them?, is there enough light for the plant?, etc). Sending along some ideas or creating a wishlist of items is a great way to make sure that you get something that you do really need for your home!
There are a lot of great ideas here and many would be suitable as gifts for other occasions as well.
I’m thinking of a young couple that is getting married in the near future and will be setting up their first home together. I think several of these would be great decorative choices for their new home.
Those agate costers look pretty cool. Nice colour and a great gift for house warming. Even the young couple I mentioned would probably appreciate these. I know for a fact that she likes blue so these would be perfect. I think they would like that Hypnocube as well. I would like the cube.
The wine glass markers would be a great idea for any party. Lessens the chance of losing my drink.
Great ideas that I think anyone would like in their home.
I want the cube 🙂
Wayne
Hi Wayne, That cube is definitely a cool looking piece of art, so it makes a great gift for the house (either for yourself, or someone else!).
I think as a guest at any house party you should always bring a bottle or two, wine, champagne, whatever the occasion calls for. As for the actual house warming gift, I always like to go for something I know the new homeowners would love, but would probably never buy for themselves. Of course it’s going to depend on their tastes, but some really fancy wine glasses, or maybe a cocktail bar set. An ice cream maker perhaps? The sky’s the limit, and you’ve got a lot of good things on your list already.
Cheers 😉
You sound like a very thoughtful guest and friend!
